Usage

require "rubygems"
require "recurrence"

# Daily
r = Recurrence.new(every: :day)
r = Recurrence.new(every: :day, interval: 9)
r = Recurrence.new(every: :day, repeat: 7)
r = Recurrence.daily(options = {})

# Weekly
r = Recurrence.new(every: :week, on: 5)
r = Recurrence.new(every: :week, on: :monday)
r = Recurrence.new(every: :week, on: [:monday, :friday])
r = Recurrence.new(every: :week, on: [:monday, :wednesday, :friday])
r = Recurrence.new(every: :week, on: :friday, interval: 2)
r = Recurrence.new(every: :week, on: :friday, repeat: 4)
r = Recurrence.weekly(on: :thursday)

# Monthly by month day
r = Recurrence.new(every: :month, on: 15)
r = Recurrence.new(every: :month, on: 31)
r = Recurrence.new(every: :month, on: 7, interval: 2)
r = Recurrence.new(every: :month, on: 7, interval: :monthly)
r = Recurrence.new(every: :month, on: 7, interval: :bimonthly)
r = Recurrence.new(every: :month, on: 7, repeat: 6)
r = Recurrence.monthly(on: 31)

# Monthly by week day
r = Recurrence.new(every: :month, on: :first, weekday: :sunday)
r = Recurrence.new(every: :month, on: :third, weekday: :monday)
r = Recurrence.new(every: :month, on: :last,  weekday: :friday)
r = Recurrence.new(every: :month, on: :last,  weekday: :friday, interval: 2)
r = Recurrence.new(every: :month, on: :last,  weekday: :friday, interval: :quarterly)
r = Recurrence.new(every: :month, on: :last,  weekday: :friday, interval: :semesterly)
r = Recurrence.new(every: :month, on: :last,  weekday: :friday, repeat: 3)

# Yearly
r = Recurrence.new(every: :year, on: [7, 4]) # => [month, day]
r = Recurrence.new(every: :year, on: [10, 31], interval: 3)
r = Recurrence.new(every: :year, on: [:jan, 31])
r = Recurrence.new(every: :year, on: [:january, 31])
r = Recurrence.new(every: :year, on: [10, 31], repeat: 3)
r = Recurrence.yearly(on: [:january, 31])

# Limit recurrence
# :starts defaults to Date.current
# :until defaults to 2037-12-31
r = Recurrence.new(every: :day, starts: Date.current)
r = Recurrence.new(every: :day, until: '2010-01-31')
r = Recurrence.new(every: :day, starts: Date.current, until: '2010-01-31')

# Generate a collection of events which always includes a final event with the given through date
# :through defaults to being unset
r = Recurrence.new(every: :day, through: '2010-01-31')
r = Recurrence.new(every: :day, starts: Date.current, through: '2010-01-31')

# Remove a date in the series on the given except date(s)
# :except defaults to being unset
r = Recurrence.new(every: :day, except: '2010-01-31')
r = Recurrence.new(every: :day, except: [Date.current, '2010-01-31'])

# Override the next date handler
r = Recurrence.new(every: :month, on: 1, handler: Proc.new { |day, month, year| raise("Date not allowed!") if year == 2011 && month == 12 && day == 31 })

# Shift the recurrences to maintain dates around boundaries (Jan 31 -> Feb 28 -> Mar 28)
r = Recurrence.new(every: :month, on: 31, shift: true)

# Getting an array with all events
r.events.each {|date| puts date.to_s }  # => Memoized array
r.events!.each {|date| puts date.to_s } # => reset items cache and re-execute it
r.events(starts: '2009-01-01').each {|date| puts date.to_s }
r.events(until: '2009-01-10').each {|date| puts date.to_s }
r.events(through: '2009-01-10').each {|date| puts date.to_s }
r.events(starts: '2009-01-05', until: '2009-01-10').each {|date| puts date.to_s }

# Iterating events
r.each { |date| puts date.to_s } # => Use items method
r.each! { |date| puts date.to_s } # => Use items! method

# Check if a date is included
r.include?(Date.current) # => true or false
r.include?('2008-09-21')

# Get next available date
r.next   # => Keep the original date object
r.next! # => Change the internal date object to the next available date

Troubleshooting

If you're having problems because already have a class/module called Recurrence that is conflicting with this gem, you can require the namespace and create a class that inherits from Recurrence_.

require "recurrence/namespace"

class RecurrentEvent < Recurrence_
end

r = RecurrentEvent.new(every: :day)

If you're using Rails/Bundler or something like that, remember to override the :require option.

# Gemfile
source "https://rubygems.org"

gem "recurrence", require: "recurrence/namespace"
